When I arrived in Japan I think the huge fad that was Billy's Boot Camp (a workout video) was tapering off.
Today I was talking to our new Zamami kindergarten teacher, who I've known for two months. Somehow running came up, because it always comes up, and I may have mentioned how far I ran this morning. She said, "I've heard about you!" (In the way you'd say to someone when meeting them for the first time.)
Here's how the conversation played out:
her: You're crazy, aren't you?
me: Uhh, how so?
I heard you did Billy's Bush Camp!
Eh? What is Billy's Bush Camp?
You go camping, too, right?
Yes, how do you know?
Didn't you, like, eat things, too?
Yeah...
[She makes a cutting motion on her arm.]
Wait! Do you mean hunting?
Yeeeess!

You're famous! -J
I don't get how this becomes a business opportunity...
Sorry... that was a distant connection. Billy has Boot Camp, but I assume Billy's Bush Camp doesn't actually exist. So maybe I could write to him about this idea of elk hunting as a way to get Japanese housewives to stay fit.
